The first winners of the Tight 32 Emcee and Producer Challenge both originally from Illinois have made it loud and clear they are going to make the hip hop invitational spicy for the competition. The new rules are set all artist/emcees must be invited to enter the Tight 32. The wordsmith 4-Ize took the crown with a witty 32 flowing over the production of Dj Fac3. A part of winning the challenge is having a custom studio performance of the winning verse and conducting Spotlight Interview at Patchwerk Recording Studios.

The Weekend Werkshop series provides a monthly dose of knowledge and real world experiences told by current contributors to what we call the culture. Our most recent weekend workshop series brought the expertise of Grammy Award Winning Songwriter/Producer/Dj/ and Head Of Music for I Am Other, Kawan Prather. Patchwerk Recording Studio was alive and sold out for the morning seminar.

Events where the winner is based on lyrical prowess is very limited today but that is a true focal point with our "That Tight Thirty Two On Thurzdayz" competition. The producer of the month, Robert Limbo, is also a previous winner so knew what he needed to do for the win. Mixing those beats before submitting is key! The question is, "How would each emcee be able to flip the beat and make it their own?"

This week’s episode of Cookies and Lemonade was a KATTastrophe! Recording artist, Katt, accompanied myself, Porchia Marie, along with Patchwerk Engineer and Producer Tugga inside the production studio.
